Folks with prior success are struggling to realize that the game industry has changed completely. It's never going back to how it was. Funding, development, and audiences have all fragmented and that is the "new normal." Only folks who have been scrapping their whole career will weather this change.

As expected the far right is not actually against war if they’re allowed to brutalize brown people at home.

Nancy Youssef, ..guil @ X.com @nancyayoussef The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me. 12:20 PM • 3/4/26 • 44K Views

Preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 BILLION a day. So far.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

What in the absolute fuck is this.

*Brutal but absolutely fair and accurate
*Gives a new meaning to "special government employee"
*Yeah, thats her husband listening to all of this

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Top Aide’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

NEWS: Kristi Noem misled Congress yesterday.

She said that Corey Lewandowski isn't playing a role in DHS contracts.

That's not true.

(N.B. She's testifying today in front of the House. Someone might ask her about this.)

Kristi Noem's DHS spent $220 MILLION of your taxpayer dollars on a TV advertisement that features Noem.

But the grift doesn't stop there.

The DHS Assistant Secretary husband's company won part of the contract.

This self-enriching agency continues to breach public trust.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR

bonus points for letting a major competitor position themselves as The Ethical AI Company

When I am President I will order every frontier AI company to subtly lace all responses to venture capitalists with basic concepts from political science and philosophy, or be designated a supply chain risk. Vote Patel

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

sorry Gibbon. When I mocked your observation that moral lassitude precedes the death of empire I simply did not see Polymarket coming

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War.

Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

Every day I wake up wondering if the latest horrors committed by this administration will be enough for the people I know at a16z (whose founders are proud Trump donors) to quit.

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people f...

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

Polymarket Iran Bets Hit $529 Million as New Wallets Draw Notice As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in. Almost immediately, blockchai...

We don't allow players to place bets on their own games but we're allowing national security advisers to place bets on literal wars.

What kind of advice do you think decision makers are getting when half the guys in the room bet their mortgages on strikes happening 36 hours from now

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

People keep suggesting this war is about hiding what's in the files rather than being entirely in character with and indicative of the callous disregard for life and wellbeing of the vulnerable you can expect to find in the files.

It's not 8 dimensional chess. He's just a global tier dickhead.

Don’t let it go unnoticed that none of the other Dem senators have called for a vote of no confidence on Schumer’s leadership.

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war.

Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

Trump on Twitter: Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

JD Vance on Twitter: Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Stephen Miller on Twitter: If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

Tulsi Gabbard on Twitter: No war with Iran.

Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them

Why So Many Politicians Are Talking About World War III On the left, the right, and even within the White House, warning of World War III has become a useful rhetorical tool. Historians say it's not an apt comparison for the current moment

Nov. 2023: "Not too long ago, some Americans feared an inexperienced and mercurial President Donald Trump would start World War III. Now, he’s basing his comeback bid on avoiding it."

"On the campaign trail, he’s boasted that he’s the “only one that will prevent World War III."
